Oh the things we will do!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my school (the one I teach music at) is quite small – approx. 180 students in 9 classes over 6 grades. We don’t get a lot in terms of technology, usually the bigger schools get the cream of the crop, but we are starting to see some new things come into the school. I was told this week that our school will be getting LCD projectors installed into several classrooms around the school. I spoke up about how fantastic it would be for me to have one in the music room. Well. I’ve never seen such shocked faces in my life. “What in the world would you use an LCD projector in the music room for?” Well. I told them. And guess what? I’m getting one 
I can’t wait to get it set up and start sharing the ideas and lessons that I will be using in collaboration with the new LCD projector! I would love to hear your thoughts, though. Do you supplement your lessons with PowerPoint? Notation softward? Fill me in!

In most schools every single student comes through the music room, so its an excellent place to put technology that you want everyone to get to experience!
Good for you for speaking up; ask and ye shall receive! Will look forward to hearing how you use the new toy!
I love using my projector to show off cool websites I’ve found and tagged in Delicious. Making rhythm charts on the computer is also much easier than making them on posterboard!!!
Hi,
I’m a student at St. Pete. College. There, all of the classrooms have digital LCD projectors. Some of the College of Education classes have a camera dock which they call an Elmo (Why they call it that is beyond me!) It’s so cool because you can show the students any kind of papers, objects or anything you want them to see, and they don’t have to have a clear background like you need on an overhead projector.
